Overview of My Research Brendan Mumey Department of Computer Science MSU
Interest: Algorithms • In Computational Biology… • Epitope mapping • In Networking… • Optical networking (NSF supported) • Wireless networking
Background: Antibody Imprinting • Step 1: Find an antibody that binds the protein: Step 2: Probe the antibody with a random peptide library of short peptide sequences: protein target antibody probes antibody
15% 85% Validation case: Antibody 9D7 epitope on IL-10
The grey squares are the alignment of a random set of peptides • The gold triangles are the genuine epitope • The large yellow triangles are key residues mediating binding of antibody to antigen
Current Work • Improving algorithm to do multiple alignments • Refining substitution matrix based on PDB data
Optical Networking NSF Optical Network
Current Work • Extending some ideas from Multicommodity Flow for improved algorithms • New software simulation system (RAPTOR) for testing RWA algorithms with physical impairments modeled
